I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
How can I find the location of my application's executable in WPF (C# or VB.Net)?

System.Window.Application does not contain a definition for ExecutablePath.
I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.
View 6 RepliesI want to get letters to each harddrive I have recognized in WMI . I give an example:I have:
1x HDD (400 GB) Samsung (fixed) - 4 partitions (one of them is for Linux, the biggest problem!)
1x HDD (250 GB) Seagate (external) - 1 partition
And in Windows I can see 4 harddrives. So the thing: How can I get exact letters belonging to Samsung, and letter(s) belonging to Seagate? Make sure, that user can have more drives and more partition (maybe Linux too) ... I can divide my Seagate too, like 20 GB and 230 GB ... you know. I've checked much things in WMI like Win32_DiskPartition, but it does not help me so much ...

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that has command buttons, each running a different file. I have added some files so far, but I encountered a problem with a couple of them.
For example, I want to run Zuma's Revenge! right from the program, but it is not working. If I run the game from outside the program, it runs perfectly, but when I try running it from the program, it keeps saying "Zumas Revenge! - Adventure has stopped working."
What really confused me, is that the game is running normally if I run it from its folder or by using the shortcut, while from the program it isn't.I'm using Windows 7, with Visual Basic 2010 Express.
'Here's the code I'm using:
Private Sub Zumas_Revenge_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Zumas_Revenge.Click
Process.Start(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "umas Revenge! - AdventureumasRevengeAdventure.exe")
End Sub

Part of the app I am writing allows users to create an encrypted, password-protected output file that they can email safely to a central store. I can't have the users choose their own password for the encryption as the central store needs to access the contents of all the output files emailed to it. So there is one password that gets set within my vb app.I am worried that security will be compromised if the vb executable is somehow deconstructed? Is it possible to read the contents of an exe file (and thus find out the password)?
